THIS WEEK'S PICTURE VERSE
for an alphabetical listing of articles
THIS WEEK'S
WORD OF ADMONITION:
The Scriptures say that elders should, when deserving, be honored twice as much. But there are certain “teachers” that say "honor" means "honor" in all passages EXCEPT in 1 Timothy 5:17, where the word magically turns into money, which ends up in their pockets!
THIS WEEK’S CHURCH
CATCHPHRASE
“INSUBORDINATION”
1) Not bowing the knee to your church gangsters; 2) A clever, pre-determined catch phrase used to put the fear of man in church members.
“Eleanor is manifesting a spirit of insubordination and rebellion!”
If “going-to-church” causes you to believe that you are somehow better than others, you are the
vilest person on Earth.
THIS WEEK'S BIBLE VERSE
Blessed is the man that maketh the Lord his trust, And respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
Psalm 40:4
See the truth come to life!
THIS WEEK'S
"The Pastoral Office"
“A good test of your professed Christian faith is to look at your tithe!”
Worship and Going to Church
“How can anyone worship if he does not go to church?”
This is the question often asked. This query does nothing more than reveal the ignorance of the one who asks it concerning the meaning and character of true worship. Here is another quid pro quo which would make worship to be that which men do in “church” on Sunday, therefore, he who does not “go-to-church” does not worship. This is denied.
True worship is always a personal and individual matter which, while it may be done with a company, it will not be done at all unless it is done by an individual.
True worship is heartfelt adoration of God because of Who He is, what He is, and what He does. It is never dependent upon a place to go to or ritual. It needs no established forms or ceremonies. Whenever, because of revealed truth, a heart responds with adoration and gratitude because of what God is or what He has done, that is worship.
Otis Q. Sellers (1901-1992)
When studying Scripture, do you consider “the majority” view a good way to arrive at the Truth?
